Transcendent Dawn

Su Lu’s other shadow clone wandered around the main city, watching the players act out dramas one after another.

After upgrading the shadow clone skill to LV8, the number of clones he could split at the same time has become two.

Su Lu transformed one into Luo Fei’s grandfather and the other into a regular player to infiltrate the player base and gather information.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to escape a few times.

At this moment, earth-shattering news was spreading around the main city.

“Damn it… Has the ‘Lord God’ finally shown his true colors?”

A large number of players wailed, “Everything costs money… He’s become a greedy capitalist…”

“Did he switch from stealthy exploitation to open exploitation because it got discovered?”

“Let’s protest, everyone quit the game together.”

“Are you stupid? The chance to become a real-life Transcendent is right in front of us, only an idiot would quit the game!”

“Actually, if you look closely, the charges for the ‘Lord God’s’ game aren’t that high…”

“Well… I still feel sort of taken advantage of. The ‘Lord God’ in the background must be pretty helpless, having to change the way he operates because of the emergence of the Crystal Core Refining Skill, he even had to come forward…”

…

The shadow clone listened carefully, and it seemed that some measures that required payment had been introduced by ‘Lord God’ due to the complete failure of the Job Introduction Office.

‘It looks like… sustaining this state indeed requires a considerable amount of energy… but the players aren’t going to quit the game, they’ll just have to bear being exploited by the ‘Lord God’…’

He shook his head and decided to go elsewhere to wander around, especially looking out for recruitment for cannon fodder specifically targeting the ‘Destruction Dragon’.

There’s no choice, the players are becoming more and more targeted, forcing him to stay alert to handle each encirclement and harvest a large amount of experience.

“Quick! The Little Rain Guild is gathering!”

Suddenly, in a square, a professional player shouted, “Another BOSS has appeared, gather quickly!”

“Another BOSS? Is it the arrival of the Destruction Dragon?”

A multitude of players asked excitedly.

“No… it’s another world BOSS, which is also at the seven-colors level, and most importantly… it’s weaker than the Destruction Dragon!”

It has to be said that within a large group of players, keeping any piece of information confidential is a tragedy.

The news of the new BOSS’s appearance quickly caused a sensation and reached Su Lu’s ears.

“A seven-colors level BOSS? According to the classification of this world, it should be a Fifth Level… a real Fifth Level beast.”

Su Lu knew that his original Destruction Dragon is foreign.

And now, presumably due to a large number of players feverishly cleaning up the cursed beasts, continuously opening up new maps, they have finally encountered the first native Fifth Level BOSS from the depth of the Inside World!

“What’s more critical is that the BOSS is very honest; it seems to lack intelligence and does not run away like the Destruction Dragon…”

A player with a white headband on his head, embroidered with the username ‘Cool Ghost’, revealed: “The first Fifth Level professional player may be about to emerge among the players.”

“Get ready!”

“Share your location!”

“The location has been released, it’s on the offline forum. It was originally discovered by a small guild, but it was snatched away by the Dark War Guild. The small guild leader was not willing to be cheated, so he shared all the information on the forum…”

…

“Fifth Level?”

Inside the cavern, the original sleeping Su Lu spread his wings, directly breaking the ground cover, stirring up a wild wind, and took off into the sky.

“With the appearance of this level of BOSS, the players now have a comparison and would know that I am very ‘abnormal’, especially that ‘Lord God’… ”

“Not to mention… these strategic level resources must be controlled by me.”

Su Lu had a vague plan in his heart.

…

In a field of darkness and swamp.

Tens of thousands of players clustered together, forming a dense thoroughfare, causing constant disturbances.

Surrounded by them was a massive BOSS standing on its four limbs.

It was an impressive sight. Not only was it as large as a mountain, but there were also many distorted human faces on its body, displaying expressions of sadness, pain, and fear.

Ooooo!

Amid all kinds of screams, various smokes were sprayed out from the distorted human faces, creating a large ‘Death Realm’.

“Identification Skill!”

Multiple beams of light hit it, revealing a series of information.

“Seven-colors BOSS – Nine-headed Bull Python? What kind of nine heads is this? I would believe it if you told me it’s ten thousand!”

“Moo!!!”

The Nine-headed Bull Python roared angrily, rolling towards the group of players.

“But it’s definitely weaker than the Destruction Dragon… And also, it holds agro (enemy’s attention) so well! Not as shameless as the Destruction Dragon…”

“Haven’t you read the latest forum post? This is a complete world, if you really believe in the agro system, you’re as good as dead.”

Four-legged beast crawled over, its bovine head opened and shot out an even more terrifying green poison flame.

Not only that, during the attack, a lot of tentacles which looked like pythons came out from its body, seemingly morphed into a large tentacle monster.

“Damn it… watch out, these snake-bodied human-faced tentacles are all very powerful.”

“Such an awful beast, it’s a lot like those war-monsters…”

“Indeed, the Destruction Dragon is the most handsome… if it wasn’t so shameless, we would have preferred it…”

Bang! Bang!

While the players were dying in large numbers, they managed to slay the snake tentacles with their lives.

Suddenly, amidst the gunfire.

A group of high-level players broke into the battlefield.

“It’s God of Guns!”

“Sword Dancer is here too.”

“And the legendary Fighting King who has been killing a lot in the real world!”

“Idiot, they all clarified in the forum that the Fighting King isn’t the pioneer.”

“I wonder if the Void Emperor will come.”

“Definitely. As this BOSS is so stupid and can’t fly, it can be killed with enough sacrifices. BOSS products are always high quality, it surely has a Fifth Level Crystal Core, which is the key to advancing to a Fifth Level Professional Player!”

“After advancing to the Fifth Level Professional Player, we can then go and kill the Destruction Dragon. Killing two birds with one stone!”

…

Under the watchful gaze of a large group of spectators, the dark-skinned God of Guns took the first shot.

In his hands, every time the thick-barreled sniper rifle fired, a human face on the Nine-headed Bull Python would shatter.

“Kill!”

Seeing this, the Sword Dancer and Fighting King also rushed forward, leaving various wounds on the BOSS.

“Good… everyone keeps it up, we can definitely kill the BOSS…”

“This monster is indeed very stupid, not knowing to escape when the situation is so unfavourable…”

“I find it more adorable than the Destruction Dragon.”

Just as many players were discussing excitedly and greedily preparing to snatch the spoils of war, a huge shadow suddenly cast from the sky, covering the earth.

It was a huge humanoid creature with dragon scales and wings. Like a demon, its wings fanned open, and it fell from the sky.

Boom!

A pile of flames turned into a meteoric rain of fire, wiping out all the players near the Nine-headed Bull Python.

“Bloody hell… the Destruction Dragon has come to the rescue.”

“Could it be that the Bull Python is its underling? Is a BOSS that intelligent?”

Players were dumbfounded.

The next moment, they saw the huge dragon claw of the Destruction Dragon drop down and press on the bovine head. With a crunch, a terrifying sound of bone fracture echoed all around.
